The Indifferent Lover (Starring Meow Meow)
Don’t miss this. No, seriously.
The inimitable Meow Meow, a “cabaret diva of the highest order” (NY Post), takes on a role custom-written for Edith Piaf by Jean Cocteau. There will be singing. There will be acting. There might be dancing.
About Meow Meow:
“Meow Meow catapults the genre of Entertainment into a hitherto unknown dimension.”
(Berliner Morgenpost)
Meow Meow has been named one of the top performers of 2010 by The New Yorker, Top 10 Best of Cabaret by Time Out New York, ‘cabaret diva of the highest order’ by The New York Post, ‘sensational’ by The Times UK and ‘a phenomenon’ by the Australian press – the ‘post-post-modern diva’ Meow Meow has wowed audiences globally with her unique brand of ‘kamikaze cabaret’ and performance art exotica.
With an extraordinary voice described as ‘Diamanda Galas drowned in cherry liqueur’, the spectacular crowd-surfing queen of song ‘drags cabaret kicking and screaming into the 21st century’ (Time Out NY), with trail-blazing sell-out seasons from New York and Berlin to London’s West End and the Sydney Opera House.
Multi-award-winning Meow Meow’s solo programmes have been curated by David Bowie, Pina Bausch, and Mikhail Baryshnikov, amongst others, for their European and American festivals, and Sydney Opera House recently commissioned her original music theatre work Vamp (with composer Iain Grandage). In New York she has performed at Lincoln Center, the Carnegie Hall-curated Berlin in Lights series at Neue Galerie, and regularly at Joe’s Pub. Most recently, she performed with Opera Australia, and with the Australian National Academy of Music in Wunderschön, Reinbert de Leeuw and the Schoenberg Ensemble’s reworking of Schubert and Schumann Lieder. In collaborations she has toured the USA with the Dresden Dolls, recorded the album Here Kitty Kitty… The Lost Sessions with Pink Martini’s Thomas M Lauderdale (due for release in 2011), and is a frequent guest in La Clique and La Soirée globally. Meow Meow was awarded the Edinburgh International Festival Fringe Prize in 2010 for her Edinburgh season of Feline Intimate. She recently starred in Michel Legrand and Kneehigh Theatre’s adaptation of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg on London’s West End and upcoming performances in North America include the world premiere of a new production of Cocteau’s Le Bel Indifférent given by the Greenwich Music Festival and an appearance at the Luminato Festival in Toronto.
Meow Meow has recorded for WDR, RBB (Germany), ABC (Australia), Radio France, and Sonic Arts (UK).
